Do Dreams Come True? ...Continued

By the time Joe started preschool I was pregnant with Jennifer. Joe loved going to school, he met some new friends and before long was going to their houses for play dates.
When Jen was 3 years old she attended the same school and that is when I approached the director (owner) about a job. She said she would keep me in mind and let me know if something became available. The following year when Jen was 4 is when she offered me a job.
I loved it, I was sure that it was what I wanted to do forever. I was an assistant teacher and I wanted to learn everything I possibly could to be a teacher.

God Speed ~ Joe

I'm sitting here near tears, actually no I'm not... I am feeling the tears fall down my face as I am writing this. It seems so silly, my son is 25 and just moved into his own home. It is a beautiful home that he had built. He got all brand new beautiful furniture, even a 60" plasma TV that he is so proud of and can't wait to hang over his fire place. I am so happy for him, but I am going to miss him so much. He is only twenty minutes away so why am I making such a big deal out of it. Why am I sobbing when I am so happy for him, and so proud of him?

Another Beautiful Baby Boy

What is better than grandchildren? Nothing! They are the joy of our lives. We had our second Grandson on March 20, Wyatt Joseph, 8 lbs. 4 ozs. 21" ~ he is absolutely beautiful!

Do Dreams Come True?

Yes, Yes, Yes - dreams do come true. It all started in 1984 when myself, my husband and our two boys moved to the country. We had a small ranch built on 1 1/2 acres of land right next to a corn field. We had to travel 10 miles to get a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread. But we did not mind one bit. We loved our new home and were excited about bringing our boys up where there was fresh air and a lot of open space.Paul was 6 years old and in first grade, Joe was three. Paul went to the local public school and we started looking for pre-schools in the area for Joe. Well there was not much to choose from. There were two that were available in the area, one was in town in a woman's home the second was also in a woman's home but in an old farm house on a beautiful farm.As soon as I pulled up in the drive way I was hooked. There were beautiful trees and flowers, a pond and a wonderful playground and a lot of open space. Space for the children to run, explore and enjoy the beauty of nature. The children there seemed so happy and the classrooms were filled with laughter. I knew this was the place for Joe.I knew this was a place for me too. I wanted to work there, I wanted to teach children and watch as they grow and learn. I wanted to see them explore new things and fill their curious minds with wonderful ways to learn and explore. I wanted to be a part of all of it.We registered Joe to start school there in September. To be continued...
